I cannot do everything by myself, that’s why I'm discussing with the IETF to make a group of participants working together to achieve the same purpose which is IPmix.

Well, there are multiple ways to encapsulate versions of IP in a same packet header. One is to use IP-in-IP encapsulation. You could do IPvx-in-IPv6. Another is to multiplex with a number below IP. For example, you have an EtherType for IPv4 and another EtherType for IPv6. The EtherType field is in an Ethernet header which is below IP. You could see EtherType quickly if you download the free tool 'wireshark'. You dont have to be a software developper to do that. Architects use wireshark extensively. Another one is to use an IPv6 Extension Header called "Routing Header". You could put an IPv4 destination address _and_ an IPv6 destination address in the same Routing Header. As a result, the packet would be travelling to IPv4 Computers and to IPv6 Computers too. That said, I agree with you that that the technical basis is to allow encapsulate versions of IP in a same packet header. I would also rather say: the technical issue is how to use different versions of IP in a same IP packet. >> Since the initial posting of the IPv10, I and and others have asked >> several times for an implementation. > > Yes, this have to be tested because theoretically it works fine I agree with you. Many concepts are first imagined in someone's mind, then sketched with a pencil on a paper, and discussed. These concepts work fine theoretically. > and I'm not a software developer to test it by myself. You are not. But can you make their job easy? Me too I can sketch a concept car on paper, but I doubt any manufacturer will ever make one :-) Because I dont know how to make cars.
